Chapter 226

The crew members were all eager to come to Janet's defence. "Ms. Jessie, Sweet Tune Guru is not to be blamed for this. I think it's best for you to leave the room and we'll come up with an explanation for Walter later on."It had nothing to do with the shabby-looking music composer? Jessie was stunned for a few beats before recovering with a scowl. "If she didn't occupy my practice room, the stand wouldn't have been broken."As soon as she said that, she heard a familiar man's voice, "What's going on?" Jessie knew it would be the doomsday for the music composer as soon as she heard Walter's voice. Although the music composer wasn't a celebrity, she wasn't inferior in terms of either her demeanor or appearance. Therefore, Jessie was jealous of her the moment she laid her eyes on her. Moving her fair and slender legs toward Walter, Jessie complained in an extremely sweet voice, "Walter, you're finally here. You know what happened? That b*tch there broke the stand of your drum set just now."As soon as Walter heard her, he walked past Jessie and headed straight for Janet. Jessie had expected him to launch into an angry tirade and confront the music composer but to her shock, Walter's face flashed with surprise and he said, "It's been a long time. You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."Upon hearing his gentle tone, the entire room plunged into deadly silence. Instead of being furious with her for breaking his drum set, he actually complimented her appearance? What was going on?"Are you injured?" Walter asked in a deep yet gentle voice. Janet shook her head and responded levelly, "Nope."As soon as Janet said that, Jessie interrupted them in a coquettish tone, "Walter, I'm sure she couldn't have been injured with all that fat cushioning her. It's your drum set that has suffered."Janet went speechless. With a height of 163cm and a weight of 44.5kg, she was surprised Jessie deemed her as fat. Walter looked at Jessie darkly and said, "Miss Hunter, please watch your words because she's my friend. In fact, I attach more weight to a person's character rather than her appearance but I'm sad to say you actually lack both." While words of kindness were able to warm one's heart for years, one hurtful remark was able to make one feel freezing even during the summer. Having heard Walter's comment, everyone present couldn't help but laugh covertly. Meanwhile, Jessie's face burned and she gritted her teeth, glaring at Janet resentfully. Never did she think that Walter would defend the music composer so vehemently. Unable to put up with the embarrassment, Jessie stormed out of the practice room. With that, all the crew members present also left the practice room too to avoid disturbing the session. Walter handed Janet a cup of water and asked, "Did she cause you any trouble?" Janet chuckled and responded calmly, "She was just throwing a tantrum."Walter's eyes gleamed with a trace of gratification upon seeing that Janet was as generous and forgiving as usual. Didn't she know that she would suffer a lot of unfair treatment because of her personality?Janet beckoned him over and stood up, offering her seat to him. "Come over and see whether the key is right."Just as Walter was about to shower her in a round of compliments, Gordon beat him to the chase. "Anything from Janet must be great!" Janet looked up and froze for a moment when she spotted Gordon before muttering a curse at him, "Stop trying to butter me up!" She placed her slender fingers on the piano and glided gracefully across the keys according to the music sheet. The melody she produced sounded as energetic, peaceful and refreshing as the flow of a mountain stream. Her disheveled long hair moved in accordance to the music and revealed her soft and tender neck, forming a spectacularly beautiful sight. Jessie, who was peeking from outside the door, couldn't help but gasp in amazement. She secretly took out her phone to capture her back. She would easily be convinced if someone told her Janet was one of the top pianists in the world. Yet, she happened to be someone she hated.Inside the practice room, both Gordon and Walter were so mesmerized by the music that they were stuck in a trance. Meanwhile, a strange feeling started blooming in Walter's heart as he witnessed a different side of Janet. She seemed to be rather satisfied with her performance just now judging from the faint grin on her face. Arching a slender brow at them, she suggested in a calm tone, "Let's practice."
